The QUEENSRYCHE saga between the remaining members and former vocalist Geoff Tate continues. Tate originally filed suit to gain a preliminary injunction to keep the members from touring and operating under the name QUEENSYRCHE, but the injunction was denied on July 13. The injunction was sought as part of the legal process that has been ongoing ever since the band replaced him with CRIMSON GLORY singer Todd La Torre.

Glen Parrish, the senior manager for AGPS Management, which now manages QUEENSRYCHE after the band brought them in to replace Tate's wife Susan, spoke to Billboard about the denial of the injunction.

“We are excited that the Washington courts saw what we and the fans have always known, that Queensryche is more than any one member. We are sorry we had to go to court to show this, but we are determined to bring back the quality product Queensryche was known for. We can’t wait to unveil to the fans what [the band creates] next musically.”

Although the court battle between Tate and his former bandmates is far from over, until the court rules otherwise, Michael Wilton, Eddie Jackson and Scott Rockenfield, along with La Torre will be allowed to call themselves QUEENSRYCHE and play shows under that name.
